Cool Cufflinks Hand Delivered By Hot Women. From ARMREVOLUTION.

ARMREVOLUTION, a company whose stunning cuff links I had originally written about when they first launched is now offering the ultimate in valentine's gifts for men. Not only will they receive a pair of some of the most beautifully designed modern cuff links but they will be delivered by one hell of a hottie.



For this 2010 valentine's Day, ARMREVOLUTION will be offering personal hand-delivery by one of the ARMREVOLUTION Girls who stars in the first film from the brand, which is shown below:



As with the company’s “by appointment” service, this exclusive service will only be offered in London or New York, and the price is £10,000/ US$15,000. which includes any of the designs of the Perpetual Series collection in stainless steel including a travel wallet and a black acrylic magnetized gift box.




“Obviously this is not for everybody and £10,000 is outrageously expensive but when you see the film you will understand!” says Anthony Hayward, Founder of ARMREVOLUTION. “For a less extravagant way to deliver the ultimate cuff link gift you can simply order using Fedex or DHL for worldwide delivery. Also, our luxury cuff link prices start at an affordable £245”.

The Perpetual Series collection:


Their new 18k white gold and 18k yellow gold versions:


The promotion arrives soon after ARMREVOLUTION launched its bespoke service which provides the opportunity to purchase made-to-order white and yellow gold cufflinks for two of the most iconic patent-pending designs of the brand: #5 and #10.

Their bespoke cufflinks are hand-made and highly personalized with engraved initials alongside the London Hallmark.

Talk About Rad Art. David Foox Exposes Himself For Love.

As the daughter of a retired radiologist as well as an art-lover, it's as if these unique Valentines were made just for me.

Artist David Foox, shown blow, has created a limited edition of 8 anatomical hearts painted upon actual X-ray films. Priced at $3,000 a piece, they are mounted on a lightbox and measure 20" x 17" x 3" each.

A very different and personal way to give your heart (well, actually David's heart) to someone for Valentine's Day.

How did he do it?
He painted an image of his own heart, using heavy duty acrylics (hand mixed from powder to liquid paint by himself), atop real X-Rays of his own chest.

Talk about your Rad Art! ( sorry, medical joke... Rad is a unit of a measurement of radiation)

Three examples of the series of eight are shown below:

The number of pieces (8 in total) are directly related to the amount of radiation David had been told he could withstand in a year and were created specifically for this year's Valentine's Day.

"I hope I don't get sick and need any more X-Rays, cause according to my doctor I am not allowed any more radiation!", says FOOX in talking about this Valentine's Day special series of Hearts.

Each piece comes framed in a backlit box and exudes an eerily personal quality about it. "Imagine having your very own heart painted on top of an X-Ray of your body," continues FOOX in talking about his work.

These 8 unique pieces are already sold out, so you'll have to hope he can withstand the same amount of radiation next year!

David Foox, who goes by FOOX-U on many sites, is the designer behind those fun and fabulous Organ Donor Dolls, as well as many paintings and other projects.


If you never saw his unusual vinyl organ donor dolls, check those out here.

David works in so many various mediums and styles, it was hard to decide to do a post on his Buddha Series, his Scary Money or these. But in light of the fact that Valentine's Day is around the corner, this seemed the most appropos. So be sure to see more work of his on his site.

This Valentine's Day, Give Them A Kiss Worth Framing

What a great way to immortalize your lips for a loved one! This Valentine's day consider making a piece of pop art from your lip print or a combination of yours and your loved ones, courtesy of the same folks who brought you the custom DNA art.

They'll send you a lip-print collection kit featuring a MAC's Viva Glam Lipstick and plenty of 'Kiss image sheets' so you can capture the perfect image. You choose the combination of color, style, size and frame that suits your personality (or your décor). And they do the rest.





Every KISS Art Portrait comes printed on archival quality canvas. Give your KISS Portrait to a lover, or show your sense of self by hanging one right in your own home.

A portion of every KISS Portrait sold will go towards the M·A·C Aids fund. One KISS Portrait sale can help purchase 1000 condoms in India or 16 HIV tests in Haiti.
